Creative Early Years and Reception tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Tracy M
Tracy has a lovely teaching style and engages my daughter in her lessons very well. Over time, she has grown her interest in maths, an area she has not felt confident in. She looks forward to her lessons with Tracy which is lovely to see. Tracy's encouraging and nuturing teaching style really has drawn my daughter to appreciating and enjoy the learning experience. Many thanks Tracy!!

Rachael T
Rachael has been teaching my son, who recently started reception, and her impact has been remarkable. She quickly identified the areas where he needed extra support and has been incredibly intentional in tailoring her lessons. The detailed feedback she provides is invaluable, helping us understand how to support him effectively at home. My son genuinely looks forward to his classes with her, and although I was initially concerned about his ability to focus during an online session, he now asks eagerly every day if he'll be seeing Mrs Rachael again.

Brilliant Early Years and Reception tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We live in Seaham and are worried about our child being ready for Reception. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common concern for parents, and it's exactly where a tutor can help. They can provide gentle, play-based support in foundational literacy and numeracy, ensuring your child feels confident and prepared for their first day at any of Seaham's primary schools.
How can an online tutor help my child feel as confident as their peers when starting school in Seaham?
Confidence often comes from feeling capable. An online tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can practise key skills without the pressure of a classroom. By patiently working on areas like phonics or number recognition, the tutor helps your child build a solid foundation, so they can walk into their new school feeling ready and able to join in.
How do I choose the right Early Years and Reception tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many tutors are qualified teachers with specific expertise in early years education. You can message them first to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's personality and needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child is very shy. How does online tutoring work for young children?
Online tutoring can be fantastic for shy children. The one-to-one setting is much less intimidating than a busy classroom. Tutors are skilled at building rapport through fun, interactive games and activities, helping your child to open up and build confidence from the comfort of your own home.
How much does an Early Years and Reception tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. This means you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated payment plans.
What qualifications do your Early Years tutors have?
Our tutors come from a range of professional backgrounds, and many are qualified teachers with degrees in education or specific training in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How long is a typical lesson for a Reception-age child?
For younger children, shorter and more frequent sessions are often most effective. Many parents find that 30 or 45-minute lessons work perfectly to keep their child engaged and focused without overwhelming them. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor.
How do you make online learning fun for a four or five-year-old?
Our online classroom is packed with interactive tools. Tutors use virtual whiteboards, fun educational games, and engaging resources to create a play-based learning environment. The goal is to make learning feel like an exciting adventure, not a chore.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to university level, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. Whether your child is interested in learning an instrument like the guitar, trying out coding, or practising a new language, we can help.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer, laptop, or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress and the areas they're working on together. Most importantly, you'll see it for yourself in your child’s growing confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
